Jannik Sinner: another forfeit comes, it’s official

Jannik Sinner will not participate in the Madrid Masters 1000

It was in the air, now it is official: Jannik Sinner has decided to forfeit the Madrid Masters 1000 tournament. The South Tyrolean tennis player, who withdrew before playing the quarterfinals in Barcelona against Lorenzo Musetti and appeared very tired after so many tournaments in a row, has decided to recover calmly so as not to jeopardize his performance at the Internazionali d’Italia scheduled in Rome and the following Roland Garros, the second Slam of the season. “A long-planned decision,” the player wrote on social media.

Sinner’s withdrawal follows those of Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Matteo Berrettini himself: all tennis players in the hunt for better form ahead of the Paris Slam. The San Candido tennis player in Madrid would have appeared as the No. 7 seed.
